TrackMaven | Software Developer | Washington, DC | ONSITE, https://trackmaven.com/careers

TrackMaven, the leading marketing analytics platform, is growing rapidly and is seeking a forward-thinking, eager and skilled full-stack developer to join our pack. We are looking for someone interested in both Javascript (Angular 1.5 & React) and Python (Django/Flask).

Apply here: https://boards.greenhouse.io/trackmaven/jobs/701039#.WTBiAhP...

Part 3 will be coming out sooner than March I hope. The reason for the gap in releases was the holiday season, we should be able to get them out more reliable going forward.
Re:Introducing 1Password for Teams on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @01:05PM (#10501298)
A nice addition, we are currently using LassPass Enterprise, and the UI is absolutely terrible, but being the only game in town kind of forced our hands... now there's options!
Just saying that I think that Cities: Skyline is a great next step in city builders, but is not ground-breakingly different from the last Sim City. I am hoping that there's some ground-breaking changes soon enough. This is a great start!
Cities: Skyline is a great game. It really fills in the gaps that I had from Sim City 5, but it's iterative; it's definitely "picking up the pieces"...

I am hoping that with some future updates this game gets to the point that it replaces the Sim City franchise completely for me, but it's off to a great start.

Re:Two Simple Steps Helped Me Learn Vim on Wednesday December 10, 2014 @09:55AM (#8729434)
I am still on the fence about the usefulness of Janus as someone starting with Vim. Sure it gets you closer to ST, but is that really the end goal? Why not still use ST?
Re:Two Simple Steps Helped Me Learn Vim on Wednesday December 10, 2014 @09:54AM (#8729425)
Are you dotfiles openly available? I have the same set of tools, but still find things are slightly off... would love to compare notes.

I agree except for the fact that his concern with tip4commit is that it wouldn't exist if bitcoin wasn't available. The fact that bitcoin is what is making tip4commit to run without much regulation is Armin's main point.
Re:Show HN: Supercharge GitHub with ZenHub on Monday October 27, 2014 @04:26PM (#8517960)
We have been using ZenHub for quite a while and have to say that it has been a great change from Trello. As a developer, I was already in Github all the time, so adding the pipeline process within Github is awesome.

It hasn't been without it's issues, but I would highly recommend trying it out.

Re:Google Inbox on Wednesday October 22, 2014 @02:37PM (#8494298)
That's a good question... I was under the assumption this was for gmail only. I guess I will have to wait for an invite and test it out myself.
Re:Google Inbox on Wednesday October 22, 2014 @01:13PM (#8493709)
I am sad that this seems to be Gmail only. Why have developers lost touch with standard IMAP protocols so we can use these new fancy apps with any email provider...
Re:Firebase is Joining Google on Tuesday October 21, 2014 @01:48PM (#8488637)
First off congrats! I have been following Firebase for a long time and think it's a wonderful product. That being said, I really hope they stick to their word and use the resources at Google to expand Firebase keeping it open and not make it a walled garden.
Re:Crate: Elastic Data Store on Monday October 20, 2014 @12:25PM (#8482963)
They mention that here: https://crate.io/thanks-dstufft/

This confused me greatly as well...

Re:Docker Acquires Koality in Engineering Talent Grab on Tuesday October 07, 2014 @11:28AM (#8421691)
This seems like a smart move, but I am still weary as to where Docker is going to land as a company... (the software is great; don't get me wrong)

However, in the grand scheme of things, the more smart people working on Docker, the better!

edit: Yes, I mean "how are they going to make sustainable $"

Re:Mistakes AngularJS Developers Make on Friday October 03, 2014 @01:35PM (#8406543)
These are great suggestions!

I really enjoy 1, 9 and 10. Learn something new everyday.

Thank you for this... what great execution to an issue you wanted to solve!

One question, where do you source your "best bet" suggestions from?

Re:Ask HN: What is HN reading? on Thursday October 02, 2014 @12:22PM (#8401426)
Read: Dune by Frank Herbert

Reading: Foundation by Isaac Asimov

I have been trying to get back to science fiction after leaving it for so long. It's great so far!

Re:Ansible Quick Start guide on Monday September 29, 2014 @04:24PM (#8385051)
This is a really nice overview of how to get started with ansible. If you haven't tried it out, this should do nicely as a resource.

Just remember this is a quick start guide and the power of ansible is just touched on here.

Re:Designing a URL structure for BBC programmes on Thursday September 25, 2014 @06:07PM (#8370045)
It is definitely something I forget to think about and when seen at the scale of the BBC it's an amazing thing. Might have to start thinking about URL structure a little more now and this is a great resource to get me going!
Re:Nimrod is being renamed to Nim on Monday September 22, 2014 @03:04PM (#8351976)
I can only see this helping them... even by a little. Never understood the naming strategies of some folks.
Re:NPM registry in numbers on Thursday September 18, 2014 @02:19PM (#8336755)
I agree, I would be interested to see how many packages are written in CoffeeScript but then compiled for NPM or the open source community.

It is interesting to get people who will not support your project if it's CoffeeScript... I would think this is the driving force and not so much that CoffeeScript is not popular.

Re:Boeing-SpaceX Team Split Space Taxi Award on Tuesday September 16, 2014 @05:49PM (#8327300)
I am excited to see where this goes. I really like that NASA is getting out of the way of things that drag down its scientific ventures.
Re:I'm Leaving Mojang on Monday September 15, 2014 @10:23AM (#8319036)
This is super sad. I never want to read the following from a programmer:

    As soon as this deal is finalized, I will leave Mojang and go back to doing Ludum Dares and small web experiments. If I ever accidentally make something that seems to gain traction, I’ll probably abandon it immediately.
I feel for anyone who has felt such stress to want to kill anything that they are working on that gains traction...

Re:Ghost Blogging Software ported to PHP on Tuesday February 04, 2014 @09:32AM (#7177576)
Not sure how I feel about this. I think we need to move away from the idea of "let's write this in PHP because it's easy." Best of luck to you though...
Re:Bootstrap 3 released on Monday August 19, 2013 @10:15PM (#6241283)
I have found that `btn-large` changed to `btn-lg` during the release from RC to today. So definitely take a look at this for larger projects.
